Dieter Rams

This is a really interesting manifesto by Dieter Rams. This manifesto is called 10 Principles of good design. This manifesto talks about this ideas of what good design should be. I like the layout and type of products he used for the images. The products look like they are inspired by the Bauhaus movement.

A few of the examples of good designs are: Good Design is Aesthetic: ‘’…only well-executed objects can be beautiful’’.

 Good Design is Long-Lasting: “It avoids being fashionable and therefore never appears antiquated….’’

 Good Design is as little design as possible: “Less, but better – because it concentrates on the essential aspects, and the products are not burdened with non-essentials. Back to purity, back to simplicity.”

I think that this is a great manifesto because it includes helpful tips; it is straight to the point. It has a good simple, black and white design and it has a really good use in pictures that actually fit with the design and aim of the manifesto.
